#1. It helps you get deeper sleep. A recent Australian study concluded that in order for the sleep process to occur in a normal and healthy manner, it is necessary that the body temperature slightly drop compared to the usual daily level. The body needs to push out the heat from inside. If your body can not release heat due to thick pajamas or socks, then you are more likely to suffer from insomnia. Sleep without clothes allows the heat to go out more quickly, which will help you fall asleep faster and have deeper sleep.

#2. It can help you lose weight. Natural cooling of the body at night will help the body reduce the level of cortisol. Deep sleep hours between 10 pm and 2 am lower the level of cortisol to a minimum, and then, after 2 am, the glands that produce cortisol begin to work more actively to prepare the body for the onset of a new day. That's why you feel rested and energetic after awakening. If you do not get enough sleep, then you wake up with an abnormally high level of cortisol, which stimulates the appetite for fatty foods that contribute to the accumulation of fat on the belly and on other body parts. Sleeping naked will make your body cool, it will help to regulate the level of cortisol.
